David and Leanne found themselves facing consequences of the Platt fire in Coronation Street tonight. But as both of them are arrested, what happens next?
The destruction of the Platt house has finally happened after months of teasers. But a few days later and fans still don’t know who actually started it – despite many suspects.
Tonight’s episode (Wednesday, February 5) however, gave us some answers on David’s whereabouts. But then both he and Leanne got arrested. So let’s take a look at what we know happens next.

David and Leanne arrested for Coronation Street fire
As one of the main suspects for the fire, David’s story started to unravel. After Todd recognised Andy as a friend of Paul’s from prison, he informed Sarah. Soon enough the news was spreading and everyone began thinking David had something to do with it.
But at the hospital waiting for Max to be taken off his ventilator, David told Shona the truth. He was actually a getaway driver for a warehouse job with Andy. And as they argued about it, Kit arrived to bring him in for questioning. All thanks to Nick.
Elsewhere Leanne confided in Steve (after he made her) about how she doesn’t actually know where she was when the fire took place.
She admitted she lied about being at Oliver’s grave, and explained she woke up with a packet of matches in her pocket after throwing vodka at the house where Toyah was. Despite insisting she used them to light a candle for Oliver, Steve tried to persuade her to go to the police.
Realising she hadn’t listened to him, Steve then reveals all to Tracy, who wastes no time in outing Leanne’s lies to the entire pub, where Sarah overheard the whole thing (guess we can truly say goodbye to their friendship).
At the end of tonight’s episode, Max opened his eyes and asked Shona where David was. But before we saw her answer, the camera flipped to Leanne being brought into the station by Kit.
